One of the main features of heterojunction silicon solar cells is passivation with a wide-gap semiconductor layer between the ohmic contacts and the active elements of the structure, which creates a high voltage when current flows through it; the voltage must be high enough to reduce the probability of recombination [14, 15].
Recently, the successful development of silicon heterojunction technology has significantly increased the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of crystalline silicon solar cells to 27.30%.
In the first design version of these solar cells, the heterojunction was formed by using the flat n-type crystalline silicon wafer with a thin layer of p-type amorphous hydrogenated silicon (a-Si:H) deposited on its surface . The efficiency of this structure reached 12.3%.
The application of silicon heterojunction solar cells for ultra-high efficiency perovskite/c-Si and III-V/c-Si tandem devices is also reviewed. In the last, the perspective, challenge and potential solutions of silicon heterojunction solar cells, as well as the tandem solar cells are discussed. 1. Introduction
In accordance with the data presented, possibilities were found to increase the output characteristics by improving the design of the contact grid of solar cells and modifying the structure of heterojunction solar cells.
Rear emitter silicon heterojunction solar cells have merited increased attention for two main reasons. First, at the front side, the collection of electrons allows the use of an n-type wafer to affirm the lateral current transport, reducing the demand on the front TCO [ 17 ].
